Abstract
The TEI Guidelines represent today an essential standard in the world of textual encoding for digital editions. However, some problems concerning TEI encoding, both theoretical and practical, are far from being definitively resolved. In this context we firstly discuss a theoretical question: what is the nature of the encoding? Are we interested in the Text or in its documentary image? What is the difference between a descriptive encoding and an editorial one? Secondly, we analyse the specific case of the TEI Guidelines application to the Medieval textual and writing reality: indeed, this application risks being anything but automatic, as TEI tags were set in the context of contemporary printed books.
期刊介绍:
Its coverage is threefold: (1) Cultural subjects for the Romance area, in the medieval and post-medieval era (up to 1600). (2) Literature, linguistics and cultural issues in general, concerning the Crown of Aragon and Occitania (and other related areas such as Naples and Navarre). (3) Digital humanities or otherwise methodological studies, provided that they may be of service to the medievalist. This annual publication has been created with the intention of serving as a platform for works that exceed the conventional length of journal articles. Therefore Magnificat CLM will preferably publish long articles, but articles of medium length are not excluded. Magnificat CLM is aimed at an audience of researchers and specialists in medieval studies, especially Romance philology, as well as of specialists in digital humanities. Magnificat CLM consists of a single section of articles, occasionally including a monographic dossier on particular subjects. All articles are indexed. Magnificat CLM published its first volume in 2014.
